Topping the list are the National Institutes of Health and the Scripps Health System, but the YMCA of Greater Rochester was named to 6th place, between Mercy Health System in Wisconsin and West Virginia University.

According to AARP, YMCA of Greater Rochester made the cut due to recruitment programs that seek out mature workers and retirees, its workplace culture and career development programs, benefits packages and workplace accommodations.

YMCA of Greater Rochester has been on the list seven times since 2005.
